<h1>OnLine-Help (OLH)</h1>
All MLEs have the size of the original OLH or Topics. This design visualises how entered
 text will look like in the opened help dialog. To enter help texts or topics in only one
 language, it's more comfortable to write them into the application's help dialogs - just
 add the line <i>PGM_MODE = MODE_CODING</i> before you call LDinit().
<h2>Help Texts</h2>
You can open the dialog for editing and translating help texts via <i>Translation</i> -
 <i>OnLine-Help</i>. The entered text is copied to the OLH field whenever the currently
 edited dialog element loses the input focus.

<div class="box100"><img src="./pics/olh-h.png" alt="Dialog: OLH" width="1096" height="712" border="0"></div>
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h3>Language Selection</h3>
Choose the desired language(s) with the &lt;&lt; or &gt;&gt; button(s) left of the
 entryfield(s). For translations select one box with the language the original help text
 is written in and the other box with the target language. If your language isn't amongst
 the listed languages: Close this dialog and add your language in the
 <a href=0400.htm#7>languages</a> dialog, then open this dialog again.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h3>OLH Title</h3>
Type the heading for the help or your translation into one of the entryfields.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h3>OLH Text</h3>
Type the help text or your translation into one of the MLEs.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h3>Help Numbers</h3>
Use the &lt;&lt; or &gt;&gt; button at the bottom of the dialog to switch between the
 available help numbers. The number of the currently displayed help is shown in the
 entryfield between both buttons. If no help text is displayed, there's either no text
 typed in yet or the help number is not defined in the program.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h3>Copy</h3>
Push the <i>copy</i> button to copy the content of the left MLE to the right MLE.
 Sometimes this might be a quite useful feature.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h3>Save</h3>
If you push the <i>Close</i> button, the content of the OLH field is saved automatically.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h2>Topics</h2>
To open the dialog for editing and translating OLH Topics select <i>Translation</i> -
 <i>OLH Topics</i>. Entered text is copied to the Topics field whenever the corresponding
 dialog element loses the input focus.
<div class="crlf1"></div>

This dialog works as described above. Actually, it is the same dialog with slightly
 different MLE sizes...
